Descriptions

When creating a callback over IPC for showing the Color Picker window, multiple of the same callbacks could have been created at a time and eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the callbacks finished. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and Thunderbird < 115.2.

Al crear una devolución de llamada a través de IPC para mostrar la ventana Color Picker, se podrían haber creado varias devoluciones de llamada iguales a la vez y eventualmente todas destruidas simultáneamente tan pronto como finalice una de las devoluciones de llamada. Esto podría haber llevado a un uso después de la liberación que provocó un bloqueo potencialmente explotable. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox &lt; 117, Firefox ESR &lt; 102.15, Firefox ESR &lt; 115.2 y Thunderbird &lt; 115.2.

The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

When creating a callback over IPC for showing the Color Picker window, multiple of the same callbacks could have been created at a time and eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the callbacks finished. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash.
